We don't want frontends to be tied to KTp in the long run - we want other 
messengers (e.g. Konversation) to integrate with KPeople, and a programatic way 
to start a conversation using the user's preferred messenger (we already have a 
Default Apps setting for one), depending on presence.

Something like startTextChat(PersonData *data) would be much better to hide the 
implementation instead of relying on action list sorting to return the 
preferred TextChatAction first, but as KTp is the only available backend right 
now this is fine for use in Plasma 5.3, there's no need to rush the API design.

There was some email forth and back on this you were CC'd on btw.
